Mistake? The first thing I guess that I disagree with is the fact that the P-2 drivers HAD to take risks! Had they not been trying to set the same pace as the P-1's they would not have been there in the first place.
As to more trouble by slowing them; I think not, as now they will not be in that window where they think they can because the P-1 did! But I guess we shall see as things pan out this year in the ALMS and LMS with their application of the rules.
